The ad says $58,990. The door says more. Car ads show the listed price you pay the drive-away price. Drive-Away shows you the difference before you call the seller: type in the advertised price, pick your region, and get an itemised receipt of what that car actually costs to put on the road. KNOW THE TRUE COST โ€ข Itemised receipt: listed price + stamp duty / sales tax + transfer fee = the real drive-away total โ€ข A plain-English line that tells you exactly how much lands on top of the ad โ€ข Works for new and used cars, dealer and private sales BUILT FOR ACCURACY โ€ข Official rates from government schedules โ€” every rate carries its source and verification date โ€ข All 8 Australian states and territories (FY2026-27), New Zealand, and Canada (Ontario & British Columbia) โ€ข Region-correct rounding, engine-type schedules, EV concessions and threshold cliffs โ€” QLD's $100,000 jump, VIC's value tiers, WA's sliding scale, the ACT's emissions categories, BC's luxury PST tiers โ€ข Every calculation is pinned against official examples in an automated test suite LOAN REALITY CHECK โ€ข Weekly repayments and total interest for any amount, rate and term โ€ข See financing costs before the dealer's finance desk does the maths for you DRIVE AWAY+ (optional subscription) โ€ข Unlimited garage โ€” save every car you're eyeing, free keeps 2 โ€ข Side-by-side compare โ€” line cars up by true drive-away cost, the best deal crowned. The cheapest ad isn't always the cheapest car โ€ข Balloon analysis โ€” what a 30% balloon payment really costs over the term, and what's still owing at the end Your data stays on your device: no accounts, no tracking, nothing to sign up for.

Read full description

FixYourDeck turns your iPhone and a class-compliant USB audio interface into a complete measurement bench for cassette decks โ€” the instruments a service workshop used to need a rack for. MEASURE โ€ข Frequency response 20 Hz โ€“ 20 kHz, both channels, with -3 dB bandwidth and chain-baseline subtraction โ€ข Wow & flutter to IEC 386 / DIN 45507 (weighted peak, weighted and unweighted RMS, wow/flutter split) with a flutter spectrum that names the worn rotating part โ€ข Speed error and long-term speed drift โ€ข Noise and signal-to-noise (flat, A-weighted, CCIR-468), MOL and SOL, dynamic range โ€ข Azimuth with live level, phase and inter-channel timing meters โ€” set the azimuth of discrete heads with ease, using the special azimuth test tape or any well-recorded prerecorded tape โ€ข Diagnostics: modulation noise, crosstalk, erase efficiency, dropout counter ALIGN Guided assistants for bias (over-bias from the 10 kHz peak), record level / Dolby level, azimuth and playback alignment with a calibration tape โ€” live meters you can turn a screwdriver against. TEST ANY DECK, EVEN A WALKMAN Record the self-describing Measurement Test Tape once on a good deck; each segment announces itself with a digital marker. Play it on any two-head deck or portable and the app grades frequency response, wow & flutter, speed drift and azimuth from playback alone โ€” no monitoring head needed. DOCUMENT Every deck is a profile with its own calibration and saved sessions. Compare before and after service, and export one PDF โ€” the Deck Measurement Protocol โ€” with every value tabulated. TOOLS Oscilloscope (Y-T and Lissajous), tone generator, real-time 1/3-octave analyzer, level meters. WHAT YOU NEED A class-compliant USB audio interface with a stereo line input and output (e.g. a 2-in/2-out interface), cables to the deck's line in/out, and a blank tape. The speed check works with the built-in microphone alone. FREE AND PRO Speed and frequency measurement are free. FixYourDeck Pro โ€” a one-time purchase, no subscription โ€” unlocks all other measurements, the alignment assistants, diagnostics and protocol export. Made by cassette-deck restorers, in 16 languages. No account, no analytics, no data collection: everything stays on your device.
